Doing the best we can with what we have to work with. Yes I too hope it holds. Nice to get to knew your boat be for starting big repairs. now happy sailing.

Looks great, that's a lot of good info. Nice looking tiller too, why buy one when thy are so easy to make. Thank you

http://youtu.be/ufDeHz3FxfI If you look at Broses video, you do have the hose. Water will not rush in, you could pull the rudder in the winter.

You just had neck surgery, may you have a speedy recovery. I went an looked at my C-20 an it looks like yours. Good info from EE, an I will be doing what you do. Thank You

Thank you for the great info, by fare the best I have seen. An welcome aboard on this forum.

Serial numbers on Chrysler are at the stern top right corner.

If you look at Bruce's photo, you will see that it has a V belt into the trailer. I leave the keel down 15% an the back of the boat will center every time. I like the rollers wish I had them on my C-20 I don't think that the sagging planks offer more support than the rollers. Ranger does the job tha...

I also like that the boom has no fixed point on the mast. For sleep overs you can raise it up an pitch a tent over it to make a large aft cabin. You are missing the mast gate, just a bent plate that fills the hole in the mast, that will stop your sail from falling on the deck.

It has been down for 6 years, an you intend to dive on it. It would be a good time to see if the keel trunk is clear of obstruction. An you could make up a spar cable, thy are not hard to change. Check your cable, rather than have the keel slam down, witch can cause damage to keel trunk.

I don't think the built-in floatation would allow the boat to float so high in the water. Must be it doesn't leak, and it sure looks pretty good. Hope you're having fun sailing it.

I always liked the two rear births for my teenage daughter an her boy friend. With one on each side I never had to wonder what was going on back there. Happy sailing you have a lot of fun sailing that boat. I have used "Bondo" to make repairs on rotten wood, a good quick fix for a small job.

"That Puppy Be Heavy" yes it is, that is why I use an A frame. I think I would look it that keel trunk be for lunching, don't need a hole in the boat.

Hi Bruce, nice to hear from you. You have posted a lot of good info on the C-20 with great photos. So I hope thy will help a new C-20 owner. Last year we had low water so I did not get the boat in. This year the water looks to be at a 10 year high, up three feet. Just need to gas up an pre start mot...

I am bring up an old post, to help a new C-20 owner, member name cs3079 has a lot of info with good photos

I hope all your kids wont to go sailing, if not hope you can spend some time with them any way you can. An have a great dad

I think you will be vary happy you got it. An I see that I have a lot to learn about the C-20.

Looks like you are all set, hope you get the C-20 you well love sailing it. Water only shoots up through the hole in vary ruff waver, an sailing fast. You will love it. When I comes time to raise the mast you will find that the center point is 1 foot or so past the stern. My C-20 has a latter in the...

If you plan on reworking the trailer, why not go with the E Z Loader Trailer typ. With the self-adjusting roller system. You would not need a tongue extension. Do not forget the 2500 ponds, you will need a bigger car.

C- 20 was my first sailboat, an the most fun to sail. You may get wet when the spray comes over the bow. An the water shouts up from the hole in the floor, where the cable for the keel is. That happens mostly when sailing in 4 to 5 foot waves. I have never sailed a C-22, but I would bet it is faster...

Good luck, I have a C-20 gold with a white strip, vary nice boat an fun to sale.

Just a note on C-20 weight 2500 pounds, uses same trailer as c-22. My Mac. 25 weights 2500 pounds, an has a munch shorter trailer to store

Elderly parents divorcing, that is sad. But nether wants the boat that's good for you. I do not have a c-22, but have looked at some, I do have a C-20 an a c-26. The rudders are about the same, your c-22 rudder should work. But you will steal be one rudder short, getting the new boat home would be f...

That is all great info, thank you all No more post//? I wonder if a battery blows up, an if there is no one around to hear it does it go Boom?

Thanks for the up date, I do not have a galley. I but my fridge under the cockpit to add support to the cockpit deck. An my spar battery in front an below the fridge. The main battery is on the port side of the stern, used only to start the outboard. All other power is taken off the spar, radio ligh...

Now that is scary, most have been a big boom. I have never seen one do that. I have not been using a box, but I will be now. Thank you for posting, an sorry for loss.

Nice read, now time to get my boat in an do some sailing.

Vary nice, now just be on the look out for some pontoons or a barge to put it on. An stay off the boat ramp

Nice photos, I think the C-20 an the C-22 use the same trailer.

It was the best day this year 74 an sunny, with a lot of family. All in joyed the brunch an after the diner the Easter egg hunt at Grandmas house. My 93 year old mother did a great job.
